RED- Grounding & Physical Strength

The best way to stay connected to your body is to practice breathing up from the center of the Earth: 

 

Go to your heart. Send your love down through your body and feet and see if you can get all the way to the center of the Earth. Repeat this until your imagination will go all the way down. When you've connected with the Earth's core, breathe up into your feet, up your legs, and into your heart. Practice with each step, breathing up into the heart from the Earth's core. Extending this practice to walks in nature, cooking or cleaning can enliven these activities. Soon, your body will remember to breathe up from the Earth's center by itself and you won't have to practice anymore. When you're grounded, your focus and concentration will improve, and you'll be in touch to your base core, where your passion for life resides. 

 

Some Red vibrations elixirs are hot, like fire. The Red 'Ohi'a lehua grows prolifically on the slopes of the Big Island of Hawai'is active volcano. When Kilauea erupts, (looking just like the Red 'Ohi'a flowers), it mows down the 'Ohi'a trees as Red hot lava flows to the sea. Exulting in fire, 'Ohi'a seedlings are some of the first to sprout out of the blackened hard lava flows at Volcano National Park. As a flower essence, 'Ohi'a resurrects your life forces. Acting like a phoenix, your source fire is re-ignited, carrying your passion and enthusiasm for life upwards.

 

 

Ruby Gem Elixir is warm, juicy and imparts a sense of beauty, rather than hot and fiery like 'Ohi'a.

 

When I started studying gemstones, the descriptions in gem books all sounded the same. Who said a gem did a certain thing? How could I know if this was true of not? I began a practice of holding each gemstone and clocking their energy flows in my own body. In this way, I learned the action of each stone in the body, which at times, confirmed what the ancients said about the stone.

 

Here is the energy flow description of Ruby, when I clocked it's energy flows in my own body (which confirms the ancient practice of using Rubies for protection, by touching the corners of property lines with it, to make a shield for the home and land within these boundaries):

 

Ruby begins in the core of the body. As if from the cells themselves, it raises the energy up the spine, warming and enlivening the heart. As it rises, the body is filled with dense, warm Red light, making a triangle from the outside base of each foot to a point above the head. The inner triangle lights with warm Yellow/ Gold light while Ruby flames at the periphery of the triangle- making an impenetrable shield of protection. Ruby is a good protection elixir for the heart.
